Process in Arizona
In Arizona, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated constitutional amendment for the ballot is equal to 15 percent of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. Petitions can be circulated for up to 24 months. Signature petitions must be submitted four months prior to the election at which the measure is to appear.
The requirements to get initiated constitutional amendments certified for the 2024 ballot:
- Signatures: 383,923 valid signatures were required.
- Deadline: The deadline to submit signatures was July 3, 2024.
If the secretary of state certifies that enough valid signatures were submitted, the initiative is put on the next general election ballot. The secretary of state verifies the signatures through a random sampling of 5 percent of submitted signatures working in collaboration with county recorders. If the random sampling indicates that valid signatures equal to between 95 percent and 105 percent of the required number were submitted, a full check of all signatures is required. If the random sampling shows fewer signatures, the petition fails. If the random sampling shows more, the initiative is certified for the ballot.
Stages of this ballot initiative
On November 1, 2023, TBI Writer LLC filed this ballot initiative with the secretary of state's office. On November 8, 2023, another version of the initiative was filed to supersede the initiative filed on November 1.
